I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 199 Different Life Circumstances

six thirty.

A small shop specializing in medicinal chicken.

Fan Jun and his new girlfriend, Stanqiu, sat side by side and ordered a set meal for 168 yuan.

A total of four pounds of chicken and twelve vegetables.

"There are only four of us. A 138 set meal is enough. Why do we need a 168 set meal?"

Not long after Shi Stanqiu and Fan Jun started talking, he said with a slightly dissatisfied expression: "Fan Jun, you just changed your job and your income is not as good as before. There is no need to waste it like this."

Fan Jun's expression fell, and he forced a smile: "Wei Lin is a big eater."

Stanqiu didn't say much about this matter, but said, "My mother wants to see you."

Fan Jun was unpacking a bottle of Fenjiu liquor he had bought from the supermarket next door. He paused after hearing this and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wait a little longer."

After being laid off by his former company, he recently worked as a courier for a courier company. Not only is his work much harder than before, but his income has also dropped significantly.

To make matters worse, he fell in love again and met Stanqiu.

Dating costs money.

Stanqiu is not a wasteful person, but the two of them still have to spend some money to eat together after get off work and occasionally go to the next city for a trip.

He is also a man with a sense of dignity, so of course he would not let his girlfriend spend money. He carefully calculated the cost of every meal, but he still lived a tight life.

If you meet the parents, you will talk about marriage, which involves the betrothal gift, banquet and wedding house.

He did have a resettlement house left to him by his parents, but he was too embarrassed to ask his parents for the betrothal gift, wedding banquet, and gold items, so he had to prepare them himself.

Stanqiu had known him for a short time and was only thinking about getting married as soon as possible, so she didn't know his true family situation.

Moreover, Shi Stanqiu was not satisfied with his two-bedroom resettlement house and wanted to replace it with a commercial house with a better environment and a larger area.

Fan Jun couldn't do it for the time being, so he thought about delaying it for now. Of course, he didn't dare to meet Shi Stanqiu's parents for the time being.

"alright."

Stanqiu said perfunctorily in a bad mood.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared at the door of the medicinal chicken shop.

The diners huddled in the small restaurant with an average of 40 to 50 square meters per person were all attracted by this figure and looked over curiously.

Ling Yao, who is 1.67 meters tall, wears black high-heeled leather boots and blue jeans that outline her beautiful leg curves. She wears a gray wool coat and a white turtleneck sweater, and an exquisite necklace hangs around her neck.

Ling Yao, who had carefully dressed herself up, was much more beautiful and taller than all the other women in the shop, and seemed a little out of place in this place.

She frowned slightly and asked the waiter, "Where is Table 8?"

The waiter pointed to where Fan Jun and Shi Danqiu were sitting.

"Thank you."

Ling Yao walked straight to the table opposite Fan Jun and Shi Stanqiu, sat down, and said with a smile, "I'm a friend of President Wei."

Fan Jun hurriedly stood up and handed her the bowl and chopsticks, poured her some tea, and said, "Wei Lin is on his way and should be here soon."

Stanqiu, who had an ordinary appearance, felt a little inferior when he saw how beautiful she was and how fashionable she was dressed, so he didn't say anything.

"This is my girlfriend, Stanqiu. Wei Lin and I are classmates. We haven't seen each other for a while, so I made a last-minute appointment with him."

Fan Jun explained with a smile: "He told me that he wanted to discuss something with you tonight. Since I haven't seen him for a long time, he asked you to come along. This place is small and the environment is average, please don't mind, beautiful lady."

The reason why he called Wei Lin in this medicinal chicken shop was because he knew Wei Lin would never care about these things, but he didn't know whether Wei Lin's friends would mind.

"It's okay, it's okay. I quite like places like this. They have the aroma of hot pot and the feeling of life."

Ling Yao smiled.

She was very curious.

She didn't know much about Wei Lin, but through the people and things she came into contact with, she always felt that the friends around Wei Lin were either rich or noble, and the places they went to should also be magnificent.

The boss Zhou Rong casually gave Wei Lin a VIP card worth 30,000 yuan. Top rich second-generations like Zhuang Daoyuan, Jiang Tuo, and Yang Huan had no choice but to give in in front of Wei Lin.

He owns a Cullinan, and his two girlfriends gave him five million each. Logically, this kind of man should not appear in the current medicinal chicken shop.

You should not have too much contact with people like Fan Jun and Shi Stanqiu in front of you.

……

Ten minutes later, Wei Lin arrived.

"Fan Jun, what have you been busy with recently?"

As soon as he sat down, Wei Lin picked up the wine glass and poured himself a glass of white wine. Then he turned his head to look at Ling Yao and asked, "Want to drink?"

Ling Yao hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

She knew that 42-proof staple liquor was sold for about 50 yuan in the supermarket.

Her income level is not low, and it is impossible for this level of liquor to be found in the drinking and dining parties she usually attends.

If the person next to her was not Wei Lin, but another man, she would probably be more resistant to such a low-priced liquor.

But Wei Lin didn't complain at all.

When she thought that Wei Lin, who was so wealthy, was so casual, she certainly didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.

"I was laid off by my previous company and have been delivering packages lately. I have a new girlfriend and I want to introduce her to you."

Fan Jun didn't hold back in front of him, and spoke frankly about his recent situation. Wei Lin smiled and said to Shi Danqiu, whose appearance and figure were not particularly remarkable, "Fan Jun and I went to high school together and are close friends. This guy has always been loyal and serious in his relationships, and the same goes for his work."

Shi Danqiu said calmly, "If you do your job well, how could you be laid off?"

As soon as these words came out, Fan Jun immediately showed a wry smile on his face.

Wei Lin shook his head and said, "That's his former company's loss."

The four of them ate and chatted.

Fan Jun, in a bad mood, quickly drank more than half a catty of liquor, his mouth becoming choppy. With red eyes, he said, "Wei Lin, I'm unlucky too. I had a disagreement with a guy in my previous company. He had some connections, and I wasn't one for flattery, so we had a bit of an argument."

“Then, I was laid off.”

"I looked for several similar companies, but the salary they offered was too low, so I had no choice but to work as a courier."

"Oh, the job market is so tough these days. I didn't expect that at only 30, I'd already be considered old in the job market."

Fan Jun complained bitterly about his unhappy life.

Wei Lin sighed softly.

Everyone's circumstances are different.

It is indeed not easy for people like Fan Jun who come from an ordinary family and have a low level of education in today's economic environment.

The streets are full of people who were laid off and cannot find suitable jobs for the time being, so they are temporarily working as couriers, food deliverymen, and Didi drivers.

Some people have families to support, mortgages and car loans to pay, and wives and children to support.

In this situation, what else can you do except quickly find a job to support yourself and your family?
A bottle of white wine was quickly finished.

Fan Jun drank more than half of it himself, Wei Lin and Ling Yao only drank one glass, and Shi Stanqiu didn't drink anything.

"Lingyao, go to the supermarket next door and get another bottle."

Wei Lin ordered.

"I'm going, I'm going!"

Fan Jun's eyes were moist and he felt unsatisfied, so he stood up and prepared to go out.

"It's okay, let her go." Wei Lin smiled and pushed him down, saying, "Let's continue chatting."

"Mr. Wei..." Ling Yao called softly.

"This is not your company, why call me Mr. Wei? Just call me by my name." Wei Lin said.

"Then...Brother Wei." Ling Yao's face flushed slightly, and she asked with a smile: "What kind of wine are you going to drink next?"

She felt that given Wei Lin's financial situation, since he asked her to buy wine, he would definitely buy better quality wine.

Wei Lin pointed to the bottle of Fenjiu: "This is it."

"Oh well."

Ling Yao left obediently.

After a while.

She came in with a newly bought bottle of Fenjiu, poured one for Fan Jun and one for Wei Lin respectively, and poured herself another glass, then listened obediently to what Wei Lin and Fan Jun said.

Wei Lin has a distinct jawline, the angles of his face are cold and stern, and he exudes masculine sexual tension.

Thinking of last night when Wei Lin fought hard against everyone in the box, Ling Yao became a little intoxicated, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Wei Lin was a bit infatuated.

"I really didn't expect..."

Ling Yao sighed secretly.

She was extremely surprised that someone like Wei Lin, who held such a high position, could get along so well with a classmate like Fan Jun.

Wei Lin didn't mind this shabby little place, nor did he mind the cheap wine that Fan Jun brought. He didn't have the slightest air of a rich man, and was completely different from his image in the box last night.

After the initial shock, Ling Yao slowly calmed down and continued to observe silently.

Thinking back to how Wei Lin had behaved properly when he asked her to do some service, she revealed her violent and arrogant side yesterday, also to support people like Kong Xin and Wu Yi.

Wei Lin's image in her mind suddenly became extremely tall.

"Fan Jun, come to my company's logistics department?"

Hearing that Fan Jun hadn't been officially hired at his current courier company and only earned around 4,000 yuan, Wei Lin said, "My company has been expanding into online business lately. We ship a lot of goods every day, and we're always hiring. You've met that guy An Xin, too. He used to be in charge of this area, but he's been dating a girlfriend lately and hasn't been paying attention. Can you go and help him out?"

Fan Jun hesitated and said, "Wei Lin, we are brothers. I don't want to..."

"Wei Lin, if Fan Jun joins your company, how much salary can you offer him?" Shi Danqiu interrupted him, staring at Wei Lin and saying, "It won't be lower than it is now, right? Fan Jun's current income is low because he hasn't been officially hired yet. Even after he is, he'll still make 6,000!"

Wei Lin smiled and said, "I don't care about others. If Fan Jun is willing to come, he'll pay 12,000 yuan first. I know Fan Jun too well. He's very serious about his work and much more reliable than that guy An Xin."

"In the future, once Fan Jun has sorted out the logistics for me, I will continue to raise my salary."

"Given the relationship between Fan Jun and me, Fan Jun will never be bullied in my company, and I will not treat him unfairly."

Before Fan Jun could say anything more, Shi Danqiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she made a decision for Fan Jun immediately: "Wei Lin, Fan Jun will be working for your company from now on!"

The salary Wei Lin offered was higher than what Fan Jun had earned in his previous company, and it would continue to increase in the future. She did not allow Fan Jun to refuse at all.
